Fowey Valley Music Festival Taster

About

For those who can’t wait till September, Fowey Valley Music is organizing an event in association with the Fowey Festival. On the evening of Thursday May 11th, Sir Karl Jenkins, who was knighted in 2015 for his contribution to music, will be in conversation with the Rev. Philip de Grey-Warter. Karl Jenkins began his career as a jazz musician, working with Ronnie Scott and other luminaries of the jazz world, before joining Soft Machine, the seminal 70s rock band, and composing some tracks of their many albums. These days he is in such demand as a composer of contemporary classical music as well as film soundtracks that he has become the world’s most performed living composer.
